Arise and Preside

“Never doubt in the dark what God has shown you in the light.”

The Look

 This one speaks to me. And I believe it will speak to you, too.

Some Funnies for You

 

The Heavyweight

From Gina Gohlston:

"This prophetic promise is cause for rejoicing among the people of God, but it is also a call to attention. The Church is being called to operate in the highest level of her purpose, shining with the light of Christ’s glory and revealing Him (see Colossians 1:27). It is through us that God will show Himself strong and make Christ known."

 

Spring is Sprung

 Several readers have asked when Spring arrives, up here. Never mind the 18" of snow still in the yard. Never mind the 4-and-a-half-foot snow berms lining the streets. Never mind the bare branches on the deciduous trees.

No, what matters is the one surefire, never-fail sign that winter has officially run its course: the seagulls have returned. There were a LOT of them in the grocery store parking lot last week. There are more now.

Srsly, the seagulls are clever in that regard: they don't show up until the accumulating snow has stopped falling.

And sure enough, the overnight lows have suddenly decided to stay above freezing, so now the snow piles are receding apace. It's been a long winter, and most of us are ready for some green to offset the white we've been looking at since early October.

Of course, that'll be awhile, but at least now we know that it's on the way.
